The jade pendant emitted a faint white light. Not long after, like a three-dimensional projection, a small, white figure appeared on top of the jade pendant. His face was still cold as usual. He looked at his disciple who was lying weakly on the table. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her head, but he could only touch an empty space. Her voice unwittingly softened a little.
"What is it?"
Zhu Yao curled her lips. "This disciple has fallen out of love."
Yu Yan was startled for a moment. His eyes which had just softened earlier, suddenly turned sharp, and faintly emitted a hint of coldness. Jilted? When did she fall in love again?
Therefore, the cold air … spread everywhere.
Zhu Yao's hand trembled. Did he have to suddenly become this terrifying? "I'm talking about my disciple. My disciple. That child you helped me take in back then, your grand-disciple."
Yu Yan paused for a moment, and the cold aura around him instantly disappeared completely. With a lack of interest, he responded. "Mn." Whatever grand disciple, it seemed like it had nothing to do with him.
"I had originally saved a child, and seeing that he and Yu Luo were friends, I betrothed her to him." Zhu Yao recalled what happened back then, and faintly felt that she was too rash. Initially, she thought that she still had time to examine him again, but she did not expect that a thousand years had passed just like that. "But now, that child has fallen in love with another woman." According to Radish, that mistress, was even saved by Wu Song himself.
Yu Yan frowned. "Since they're friends, why would he fall in love with another woman?" To him, this was a little ridiculous.
"He said that the relationship between him and Yu Luo was merely that of a brother and sister."
"Excuses." Yu Yan coldly said.
Zhu Yao could not help but let out a bitter laugh as well. She did not expect that her master, who originally did not have much EQ, could actually see that this was just an excuse for the other party to change his mind. But his disciple still couldn't see it clearly.
"What should we do?"
Yu Yan lightly said. "Castrate him!"
Kuh kuh kuh … Zhu Yao choked on his words. Dumbfounded, he looked at a certain someone who had a matter-of-fact expression on his face. Master, what did you say? Where's your pure and clean image?
Ugh … Alright, they were indeed master and disciple. "But … This is Yu Luo's matter after all."
"Beat him until he can't take care of himself."
"…"
"Break his chrysanthemum."
"…"
Master told me. Where did you learn all these words from? Give me back that pure and innocent master of mine!
However, he only slowly turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes clearly saying: Didn't you threaten me like this too?
She was guilty!
Zhu Yao covered up her coughs for a few times, and only then did she manage to find her rationality in front of her master. "Actually, I want master to teach me how to refine artifacts." Originally, he just wanted to complain to his master, but who knew that the situation would change so quickly. It was better to return to the main topic.
"Refining artifacts?" Yu Yan frowned. "Right now, you should quickly raise your cultivation and ascend."
"I'm still young." Zhu Yao chuckled. She did not wish to once again fall into the debate earlier, and recalled that shadow once again. "Master, didn't you say that the reason why that shadow was following Mu Meiyan, was because he had signed a blood contract with her?"
"Mn." Yu Yan nodded. "The Blood Contract is born from the original owner, and although the Five Elemental Magic has a certain amount of damage, most of it will only affect the host. That person must have done something to the host's body to remove all damage before he was dispelled. That's why it couldn't be removed from the original owner. "
"What about forcibly separating from the outside?"
Yu Yan was startled for a moment, as though he was shocked by her thoughts. After a while, he said. "Although this method of separation seems feasible in the outside world. But in this world, even if it was made from the sharpest Mysterious Ice Cold Iron, it might not be effective. And immortal artifacts … "
"Master, I want to try." She had already made up her mind. The biggest cheat in Mu Meiyan's hand was that black shadow, which was also the key to her becoming a bug. So what if she was reborn? She was reborn as a soul, not as a Shang Zhi. She didn't believe that Yue Hanxin had completely defeated her in her previous life. I won't be able to suppress her.
She had thought about the method her master had told her to cultivate as soon as possible. She definitely wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from the black shadow. Only then would they have a fighting chance. However, no matter how much she cultivated, she was not confident that she would be able to defeat him before she ascended. Moreover, according to the information revealed by Master, even the people from the Upper Realm were somewhat fearful of the black shadow. On what basis did she believe that with a period of bitter cultivation, she would be able to possess strength stronger than the deities from the Upper Realm?
Since she couldn't win in a direct confrontation, she could only resort to tricks.
Just as Zhu Yao was about to inform Yu Yan of her plans, the door was suddenly pushed open. A blue figure instantly scuttled in, and pounced into Zhu Yao's embrace.
"Yue Ying?" Zhu Yao looked at the child who was already hugging her tightly, and was a little speechless. She casually kept her master's jade pendant back into her storage ring.
Only then did Yu Yao hurriedly run over, a hint of a troubled expression flashed past her face. "Master, Yue Ying, he … insisted on finding you. I couldn't stop him. "
Zhu Yao let out a long sigh, and for a moment, she felt a slight headache. This little child couldn't possibly have an Oedipus complex, right? Ever since he returned, he had been sticking to her, and could not be separated even for a moment.
"It's fine now, Yu Yao. Go and cultivate first. Have a good talk with him. " This couldn't go on. She was about to go into isolation to learn how to refine artifacts. Distractions were the worst when refining artifacts. To refine a single artifact, not coming out of isolation for a year or two was a common occurrence. How could she have the time to watch over him at all times?
Bending her waist, she carried Yue Ying up, and placed him on the wooden bed at the side. Then, she casually pulled a chair over, and sat in front of him.
"Yue Ying, I have something to tell you."
However, as though Yue Ying did not hear her, he raised his hand and was about to pounce into her embrace, yet, he did not let out the slightest sound.
Only then did Zhu Yao recall that he basically did not know how to speak. How was she supposed to communicate with him, hey?
"Yue, Ying!" Zhu Yao straightened him up, and pointed at his little chest. She decided to first teach him how to speak.
He tilted his head, his little face was still expressionless. Evidently, he did not understand.
Alright. Zhu Yao's expression darkened, and then, she pointed at herself. "I'm called, Zhu … Yao. Zhiwu, Zhu, yioyao. Zhu … Yao. "
Yue Ying was still stunned, and the corner of his lips moved. As though he had finally understood something, a moment later, he let out a "Yes" sound.
Probably because he had not spoken for too long, his voice was especially hoarse. If one did not listen carefully, one would not be able to hear it clearly.
He was willing to speak. This could already be considered as a huge surprise. She had no choice but to bring him through so many things, she was really afraid that he would become autistic just like that.
"Zhu … Yao, Zhu Yao." Zhu Yao had no choice but to teach him again and again.
"Yes …"
"Yao, yioyao, Yao!"
"Yes … Yao."
"Oh right, it's Yao." Zhu Yao excitedly kissed him. Taking this opportunity to teach him more, she once again pointed at himself. "Yue, Ying. Ying, Ying, Ying, Yue Ying. "
This time, Yue Ying did not speak, as though he did not have any feelings towards his own name at all. Zhu Yao was a little anxious, as she once again pointed at herself.
"Zhu Yao."
"… Yao."
She then pointed at him. "Yue Ying."
"…" Silence.
Sheesh, did he dislike his own name that much? Zhu Yao had no choice, and could only teach him from the basics. "I'm called Zhu Yao. I'm older than you, so you have to call me big sis."
"… Yao." He still only knew how to say this word.
"Call. Big sis. "Zhu Yao still pointed at herself. "Big … Big sis."
Yue Ying frowned, and a moment later, the corner of his lips twitched. "Take …"
"Big sis!" Zhu Yao once again corrected him, and slowed down her speech. "Big sis, big sis."
"Big sis." He finally said the correct pronunciation. However, his tone was still a little strange.
Zhu Yao, however, was already very satisfied. In just a short while, she learned two words, and decided to help him consolidate it. "Repeat after me, big sis Zhu Yao."
"…"
"Zhu, Yao, big sis."
This time, Yue Ying was really a little anxious. The corner of his lips twitched a few times, before slowly spitting out two words. "Big … sis Yao."
"…"
Flips table! Who are you scolding?
You're the brothel sis, your entire family is brothel sis!
You haven't spoken for so long, why are you scolding me the moment you speak? Zhu Yao suddenly felt as though she had lifted a rock and smashed it onto her own feet. And it was even … a little painful.
— — — —
Zhu Yao had already returned for two days. Yu Yao looked rather happy on the surface, but a hint of sadness would occasionally leak out from between her brows. Zhu Yao knew that she had yet to walk out from that failed relationship with Wu Song, so she could only occasionally give her the mission of taking care of Yue Ying. So as to distract her, and not let her indulge in it.
Today, Zhu Yao decided to bring her to Zi Mo's place. After all, they were little radish's parents, so he could guide her a little.
Although to her, Zi Mo was just an old friend whom she had not seen for a few days, in reality, more than a thousand years had already passed. Zi Mo still looked like that old man, however, the spiritual energy in his body, was not as dense as before.
Zhu Yao's heart clenched. She could tell that he did not have much time left. The lifespan of a Nascent Soul practitioner was limited, however, because of the matters of the Sect, Zi Mo had spent too much effort on it, and had never been able to break into the Demigod stage.
Zhu Yao looked at the happy family that had reunited together, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart. Towards her return, Zi Mo seemed especially happy. "Little martial aunt, you're finally back. Currently, Ancient Hill Sect finally has three Demigod Sovereigns as well. "
"Three?" Wasn't it four?
Zi Mo's face revealed a regretful expression. Sighing, he explained. "Little martial aunt, there's something you don't know. Two hundred years ago, Sovereign Yi Ran fell during the Ascension Lightning Tribulation. Coincidentally, you went missing again … "Zi Mo did not continue, but the meaning behind his words was clear. The reason why Ancient Hill Sect had the achievement of being the number one Sect in the cultivation world, was mainly because they had four Demigod Sovereigns. However, looking at the four of them, half of them were instantly gone, to Ancient Hill Sect, it was indeed quite a huge blow.
Recalling Yi Ran, Zhu Yao did not have much of an impression of him. She only remembered that he was a very amiable middle-aged man, and when he appeared, he would often ride on a jade lotus. She did not have a deep relationship with him, however, she did not expect that in the blink of an eye, he had already fallen.
Compared to him, Zhu Yao could not help but feel a little ashamed. As a Demigod Sovereign of Ancient Hill Sect, she merely carried an empty title, and had never done anything for the Sect seriously.
"Little martial aunt, I wonder what plans do you have for the future?" Zi Mo asked.
"I plan to go into closed-door training for a period of time." In the future, if she could not leave Ancient Hill Sect, it was best for her to stay here as much as possible.
As expected, Zi Mo revealed a hint of a smile. "It's naturally good that little martial aunt can stay in the Sect. According to rumors, Celestial Indus Sect currently has two Demigod Sovereigns as well, and is on par with my Sect. Now that little martial aunt has returned, naturally, there's no need to worry."
Celestial Indus Sect? Wasn't that the Sect Mu Meiyan was in? It seemed like it was the same as the scenario, Qi Han had already broken through into a Demigod.
Just as Zhu Yao was about to inquire about the details, a disciple suddenly came in to report. The Sect Master of Azureflight Sect had brought along a disciple and requested an audience.
Azureflight Sect's … Sect Master? What kind of joke was this? (To be continued)
